Hi! I'm Traumador The Tyrannosaur

"I may only have a brain the size of a peanut... wait what was I saying again?"

Welcome to My Life

Rather than bore you with a long life story, I thought I'd share some of the memorablia I've collected from my many adventures.

As I'm really big on geology, I thought I'd set up my memory board as a rough Timeline of my existence.

Please forgive the lack of proper scale. They only make corkboards so big...

If you are interested in any of the items or topics on my board just click on their picture and check out any related posts (some are still under construction at moment...).

Like all (good?) stories mine has a beginning. Only unlike most others that claim it, my story really does start a LONG time ago!

When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth!!!

It was back at the hey day of my kind that I originate from. 65 million years ago during the Cretaceous period, to be precise.

I was born...

Now I can't tell you details about it, for obvious reasons, but my egg was lain in prehistoric Alberta.

Something REALLY bad happened!!!

Then a few weeks or months after my egg was laid, the Dinosaurs went extinct...

I didn't notice

Yet somehow I survived, after a fasion. My egg was buried, but despite all logic this did NOT kill me. Rather put me into a slumber through the ages (and pre-ages!). Millions and millions of years. You know come to think of it, I was really bored!!!

I was discovered

Despite all the odds against it, when I was finally uncovered my egg hatched, and I found myself a Dinosaur in the modern world...

The Explorer

My discoverer was a tour guide named Craig who fashioned himself a palaeontologist. However up until the day he found me, his ambition hadn't gone so well. I wonder if he wishes his luck hadn't changed after finding me?

Being a Dinosaur in the modern era, I didn't growup like any other Dinosaur before me...

I was raised by humans

Craig took me into his home, and as of such i grewup to think more like a mammal most of the time, and not a tyrannosaur...

My First Roommate

Dan also lived in our house, and unlike Craig, he often didn't like the problems and mischief i'd get into

My Mom

i would encounter my mother, after a fashion, only she'd been long dead. only her skeleton remains today, but i guess it's better than nothing.

My Play Mates

When I finally met and made friends with some other Dinosaurs, I of course picked the oddest Dinosaurs a T-Rex could hang out with!

Sadly I couldn't just sit around the house eating and playing video games forever... I eventually entered the work force. The number of jobs avaliable to a Dinosaur are pretty limited though...

I ended up at the local museum

Fortunately my hometown is home to one of the best Palaeontology museums in the world! So I got a job there...

I learned all thing Palaeontology

Naturally while at the Tyrrell I picked up some scientific know how and skills!

The girl of my dreams...

I fell in love with the museum's star attraction, Lillian the Albertosaur... Not that she returned the feelings back in those days!

Till I was fired...

The museum had too many Dinosaurs wanting to work there. So due to me being me, I was one of the ones let go...

The Tyrrell was a huge part of who I was early in my life. Without it I needed a new direction...

There were too many other Dinosaurs...

Unfortunately Drumheller was just overrun with other Dinosaurs. So I wasn't going to be able to stay there, and make a name for myself.

So I tried to find my own space...

I travelled across BC thinking I was travelling back in time. Only later would I find out BC in Canada stands for British Columbia!

I needed help...

Larry the Tyrannosaur

I moved!

To New Zealand

I'm a big deal to the Government!

I work at a museum...

My (almost) secret origin!

Nearly a hundred years ago, the mysterious fossil hunter Francis Slate nearly uncovered my egg. For some reason he left me there in badlands. forced wait for someone else to uncover me...

29.11.06

okay just when i thought today couldn't get crazier it did... now i don't really feel like going into to much detail here people of the innerweb. don't get me wrong. it's not that i don't want to talk to you or tell you about it... just at the end of my tour as a spy there has been a big twist ending i just didn't see coming...

before i reveal that though heres the quick version of what went down this afternoon...

so the truck with lobey showed up, and we got her loaded into my boat. however before i could set out you'll never guess who showed up...

yeah darth caught back up with me. man i'm sick of this guy's death grasp...

"you couldn't hide forever." he boomed. "now i want that fish. not excuses."

i was hooped simply put. he held me out this time so my tail wouldn't reach him...

he must have noticed the tank in my boat because he hauled me over to it.

seeing lobey in the tank he stopped. i lost the ability to breath... or wait i guess i'd lost that already... all i know is it felt terrible. i'd failed as a superspy, and worse i'd failed lobey... this monster of the dark side had her completely at his mercy, and there was nothing either me or her could do to stop him.

"this will be a day long remembered." he started. suddenly he lifted his other hand. in it was a big metal tube... oh no a light sword!!! he threw me to the side, and raised the cylinder. with a hiss of electricity a great red glow filled the air. he went to swing with that hand, and with his other hand he raised something in front of him...

"it has seen the end of my fish watching list, and will soon see the end of my search." he said bringing the cylinder against a clip board in his other hand.

he then simply made a checkmark on a list... a list of fish... and that was no light sword. rather it was just a light up pen!?!?!

with that he just turned around and walked away... like for good. he just went to the street and hopped into his black car and drove off...

this guy's reputation is way overblown due to the movies... he is just a big evil fish watcher. the aquarium had taken lobey off display the day he was going through to finish off his BC list...

well i guess i'm a better superspy then i thought. one evil villian disposed of, and one fish released... wait i still hadn't released her!!!

getting my boat into the water i took it out into the middle of the habour. this should be good i thought. nice open water. access to the open sea. no evidence of mega predators.

with that i dumped her tank into the water, and she started to swim away into the depths. as per the aquariums instructions i grabbed the underwater telyscope and watched her as she went. she started to look a lot better right away!

after a bit of swimming she reached the bottom where she happily took up residence in a hole.

so with that i succeeded in my mission! i have to put this whole superspy incident on my resume!

getting back to shore though i had another crazy thing happen. i realized i was ON TOP of 65 million BC! as in it's right here in front of me where i type right now people of the innerweb!!!

i'm going to leave you now, and finally get to the goal of my 2 month quest!!!
